WLAN client mode (RCM+ only)

In the WLAN client mode, RCM+ connects to an existing WLAN network. When your device (PC, mobile device) is connected to the same WLAN network as RCM+, you can access the AX Manager user interface either with the default network address or the IP address that RCM+ obtains from the WLAN network. For information on network settings, refer to Network settings.

Connect RCM+ only to a secured WLAN network to prevent device intrusions!

To configure WLAN client mode:

1.

Access AX Manager preferably by connecting your PC to the Ethernet port 1 (*) on the rear of RCM+.

The Ethernet port 1 connection is recommended because making changes to the currently used connection's settings, the connection to AX Manager will be lost when the new settings are applied.

2.

Open an internet browser and enter the default network address AX<RCM serial number>.local.

The RCM serial number and security code can be found in the serial number sticker on the RCM device.

>>  You are now connected to AX Manager.

3.

Go to the Network settings view and select 'Configure'.

4.

Configure the settings as explained in the table 'WLAN IP configuration (RCM+ only) - client mode' in the Network settings view and save the settings.

>>  RCM+ connects to the network automatically (connecting may take approximately 1 minute), after which the IP address obtained from the network appears in the Network settings view.

To connect to AX Manager in WLAN client mode:

1.

Connect your device to the same WLAN network as RCM+.

2.

Open an internet browser and enter the default network address AX<RCM serial number>.local. You can also use the IP address that was shown in the Network settings view (step 4 above).

If the default network address AX<RCM serial number >.local does not work, use the IP address that was shown in the Network settings view.

For information on how to log in to AX Manager, refer to Logging into AX Manager.

Also a WeldEye cloud service connection can be established in the WLAN client mode.
